I Promise

"We're moving." Those words rang through my head from the moment my parents first announced it. I was 7 years old, in second grade when my life changed. I remember packing bags and loading onto a plane not knowing where we were going or what was going to happen.

Finally after a 13 hour flight, we arrived in Cheshire, England, a small town in what felt like the middle of no where. I started in the second grade at the local elementary school. I remember my first day so vividly. At recess, I sat outside on a swing, thinking about my old home and my friends. And that's when i met my new best friend.

**********Flashback*************

"You're it!" I felt someone tag my shoulder. I glanced at the boy. He had curly dark hair and bright green eyes. But in a split second, he began to run away. I got off my swing and chased after him, as fast as i could. Half way across the playground, he turned to look back at me, flashing at large grin then turned back and continued to run. I was determined to get him.. until I tripped. I sat for a second in the soft grass, breathing heavily and a few moments later a hand reached down for mine.

"I'm Harry Styles." He flashed a cheeky smile. He helped me up onto my feet. "I'm Lacy."

******End flashback*************

After that moment we played with each other every recess and outside of school. He introduced me to his other friends and we all got on really well. We would all hang out at the park down the road from Harry's old house. But everything changed between the two of us in our seventh grade. One night all of us decided to play a game of truth or dare for fun. Harry was dared to kiss me. Secretly, I had the biggest crush on him, so I let him. 

After that night, things changed between us. We were more like a couple than friends. Harry and I would hold hands in the school hallways and we would kiss all the time. We made out a few times here and there, well more like kissed on the couch. The furthest we ever gone was in eighth grade when I spent the night at Harrys. All we did was sleep half naked with eachother. But anyways, time flew by and before we knew it, we were freshmen in high school. And that's when my life changed.

Flashback

It was the beginning of summer break. Harry and I had just got done from riding our bikes around. I dropped my bike in my front lawn after saying bye to Harry, and walked inside. "Mom , I'm ho..." My jaw dropped. I peered around, boxes were piled everywhere. My mom stepped into the room. "Mom?" I asked. She looked at me. "Hunny, we're moving back to Cali!!!"

She came forward to hug me but I refused and backed away. She looked at me confused. The first thing that entered my mind was leaving Harry. Tears immediately began to swell in my eyes "What!?! How could you do this to me again?"

I ran back outside and hopped on my bike and began to pedal straight to Harry's. My vision blurred and tears were removed from my face from the wind. Why the hell were my parents doing this to me again? Don't they know how hard it is for me? I love it here, I don't want to move back.

Once I made it to Harry's house I ran up to his door and knocked. His mom answered. "Is Harry here?" I asked frantically. She looked at me with a worried face. "Yeah, he's in his ro.." Before she finished i ran past her and up the stairs to Harry's room.

"Hey." He said as soon as I pushed his door open. I didn't reply right away, instead I sat on his bed and began to cry. He looked at me. His eyes were dark and filled with complete horror.

"Whats wrong?!" He moved closer. "Lacy, whats wrong?!" His voice cracked.

"I.. I'm moving." I choked out, tears falling harder.

"No...." He panicked. "No! Why?!!" He put his arm around me, comforting me as i cried on his shoulder. "I don't know. I'm going back to California."

End Flashback

We spent that night talking and telling eachother we'd meet again and keep in contact. He promised me....
